Am I being too complacent

Now on day 11 - cravings went after day 5 and I have no desire to smoke. I feel fitter, cleaner, happier with myself for not smoking - I think I've got through the worst - am I being too confident, is there something lurking round the corner that is going to drag me back into the smokers den?

There is always something lurking, but you are right to think you are past the worst.

You must always be ready to say no (check the month 4/5 forum - I have just posted there saying I have had to be careful this week) but you will find that it just keeps getting easier and easier.

Well done to you, it's a great acheivement to be at the easier stages!

Hi Biddy

I think you must be on your gaurd. But some say they stop smoking and never look back Hopfully you are one of the luck people. just keep a keen eye out for the sly old nic some times he catches you when your not ready for him.xxxx

I agree that the desire to smoke can come out of nowhere, but so long as you are aware of that and ready to push them awar as and when they come then I don't see a problem with being confident!

never let your guard down. its always there waiting to come and rear its ugly head...i definately think you are past the worst but there are more phases and situations to tackle yet i think

dont spend your time worrying about them though. if it happens just deal with it and then you can move on thinking you have now coped with another situation smoke free

keep up the good work! x
